Not a single illegal alien should be granted legal status without having first
returned home and gone through the process to get back here the legal way. What
a horrible precedent to set, that if a group of people break the law for long
enough the government will accede to their demands.

Despite what the
naysayers claim, it is quite possible to secure the border, remove the job
incentives, and deport those caught by police. Once the word gets out that
lawbreaking won't be tolerated and that there are no jobs for illegals,
they will return home in droves. Once that is done, we can talk about any
changes that need to be made to our immigration laws.

If they are going to do this for the illegals then they should also be allowing
those who came here legally (here of legal visas)the option of being granted US
citizenship. I have several friends who are here on Visas and they pay out the
nose each year to maintain their legal statis while those who are here illegally
are being given a free ride
